Assistant chief of police, Anita Najiy, created a bone of contention between the Miami Police Department and the Fraternal Order of Police President, Javier Ortiz, after she refused to hold her hand over her heart for the Pledge of Allegiance during a recent promotional ceremony.
Ortiz became livid in seeing Najiy refuse to honor the Pledge, stating that she failed to exhibit courtesy and etiquette that “must be exercised when wearing a law enforcement uniform.”
“If you’re not pledging allegiance to the United States, my question is what country are you pledging allegiance to?” Ortiz asks. “Anyone who isn’t offended by that is not American, because when you become a U.S. citizen, you pledge allegiance to the US.”
Ortiz also states that Najiy’s disrepect comes from her Muslim belief, but that normal “protections” or exemptions generally given in the name of religious freedom and speech doesn´t apply to those in police uniform because “you’re supposed to be neutral.”

Fire her
Fire her and then try her for treason, after all she took an Oath to defend the Cons$#%&!@*ution when taking this office.
That’s American law enforcement for you
What’s a shame! How that chief become police?
It’s about honor to all who work behind the badge. If they cannot honor it y respecting the American Flag who our Heroes have fought and died to protect for our freedom, then we don’t need them working for benefits of retirement.
Remove her from officer.
Fire her
Then he is s$#%&!@* on the bottom of my shoe
Fire him
Being Muslim doesn’t exempt you from pledging to the country that you have sworn to uphold its laws. She ins’t being asked to swear to Jesus. This should be as mandatory as the oath to uphold and support the Police division itself.
